Case Study: Posti Group achieves 5%+ delivery cost savings and rapid ROI with RouteSmart Technologies

How Posti Group Implemented RouteSmart to Realize Significant Cost Savings

Posti Group, Finland’s state-owned postal service serving 5.5 million locations, faced the challenge of measuring and increasing delivery efficiency across its network, improving geographic data, and meeting an ambitious target of 5% cost savings per delivery center. To address route planning, volumetric variation and operational modeling, Posti integrated RouteSmart from RouteSmart Technologies (alongside ArcGIS) into its existing infrastructure.

Working with RouteSmart Technologies, Posti built internal expertise and deployed RouteSmart with custom tools and modules to handle changing daily volumes while accommodating existing sorting systems. The implementation delivered measurable impact: at least 5% delivery-cost savings per center (often exceeding that), more balanced routes, improved vehicle utilization and compensation fairness, and a positive project ROI in under a year.
